No I meant we get Peatling and then use pick 5/6

Oh right. Iā€™m all for that

    We currently hold pick 6 thanks to Gold Coast.

    Keep it dees and get a 12 year gun midfielder.

    Tim Lamb and Alan Richardson are both recipe for disaster for this footy club.

    And if next years pick is a 15-18 after we swapped it for Houston and drafted a gun mid with pick 5/6 this year, would it be such a big disaster?

    Long road ahead if weā€™ve got people like Alan Richardson and Tim Lamb contributing to these decisions.Ā

    I think for Richardson to say this he must be confident that they can get some deals done with mature player they are currently in discussions with.Ā

    It won't happen. Port want two first round picks including this year.

    That's there starting point.

    Exactly. We've been trading out our future first most years for the better part of a decade. This time it could be for an established best 22 player.

    Given the depth of this years draft pool, it makes absolute sense to me to trade our future first for a quality player like Houston or someone as equally likely to be best 22 and an upgrade on what we have. Then take pick 5/6 to the draft (if we haven't split it) and still bring in a couple more kids with 2nd and 3rd rounders. What's not to like?

    There's risk involved, sure. But I'd rather upgrade our list as best we can with established talent and simultaneously bring in another 2-3 kids.

    They donā€™t have genuine motivation to trade Houston, so wonā€™t unless their high price is met.Ā 

    The market isnā€™t really moving to meet that price, so unless someone else budges, Houstonā€™s staying at Port.

    I'm open minding on future pick trading as long as we take a first and second round pick to the draft this year to keep adding young talent

    With that being said, they better be very confident re Oliver & Trac's 2025 prospects if we do trade out of 25'

    I think a lot of it is probably due to their projections on where Kalani White and Ah-Mu will be bid on

    Agree, is there anything to suggest either are anything more than later picks at this stage?

    If the Saints beat Carlton we'll have pick 5.

    A Josh Battle comp pick doesn't effect us if we have P5 and the saints have P6 (and then 7)

    Maybe they could reaffirm their loser status by winning, therefore pushing their picks back

    It was reported that the Hawks offer for Battle would not trigger the pick following theirs, it would be end of first round

    I'd be very surprised if Lombard goes top 5. More likely 10 - 20 range.

    Saints will up their offer forcing the Hawks to up their offer and the compo will push in to band 1 because the afl will feel bad for St KildaĀ

    Edit: Ok I misunderstood, you mean, we might be back in 14th here again next year? I hope the club is not thinking that way and backs itself to contend, it's as simple as that.Ā 

    Ā 

    Well I was responding to the poster that said trading only a future pick for Houston, would be a disaster.Ā 

    But my thoughts on this years pick: I'd rather we kept pick 5/6 and only offered a future pick, if Houston doesn't get done then so be it.Ā 

    A month ago I was open trading both first round picks if it was 9-10, But also if we somehow got Ports 1st round 14-18 pick back. Now that it's 5/6, and people have said the first 5 kids are all as good as each other, then we have to keep it and only offer a future 1st rounder and back ourselves to be contending next year.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, weā€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: ā€œThen came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.ā€ Today, weā€™re back in the same place although oneĀ difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, ā€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, ā€¦ā€Ā  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
